The electronic structure and dynamics of ruthenium complexes are widely studied given their use in catalytic and light-harvesting materials. Here we investigate three model Ru complexes, [Ru III (NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ , [Ru II (bpy) 3 ] 2+ , and [Ru II (CN) 6 ] 4- , with L 3 -edge 2p3d resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to probe unoccupied 4d valence orbitals and occupied 3d orbitals and to gain insight into the interactions between these levels. The 2p3d RIXS maps contain a higher level of spectral information than the L 3 X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). This study provides a direct measure of the 3d spin-orbit splittings of 4.3, 4.0, and 4.1 eV between the 3d 5/2 and 3d 3/2 orbitals of the [Ru III (NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ , [Ru II (bpy) 3 ] 2+ , and [Ru II (CN) 6 ] 4- complexes, respectively. |
